Unposted Trained Teachers Demand immediate Postings from GES  

The Coalition of Unposted Trained and Registered Teachers(CUTART) has appealed to the Minister for Education and the Ghana Education Service (GES) to consider them posted in the various schools as soon as possible.

The President of the group, Mr. Afelete Avulah opened a three-page petition to the minister and Director General of GES some days ago.

He said that petition also gave detailed background to the Untrained Teachers Diploma in Basic Education-UTDBE programmed which was under the supervision of the National Teaching Council and the University of Cape Coast.

According to him, teachers who were issued with Professional Teachers Registered numbers since 2016 only got 110 of their entire membership recruited in 2018 but over 800 members are still home.

The UTDBE programme which was partly a Government-sponsored course with the support of Jica had two categories of the trained teachers and of those who were pupil Teachers before admission into the course and the other, those who were voluntary Teachers as well as Youth Employed.

According to the President of the Coalition Mr. Afelete Avulah, the group acknowledged the efforts of the Director-General and his Deputy Lawyer Anthony Boateng for posting part of their members in 2018 hence the need to consider the backlog.

Mr. Afelete says it's the appeal of the Group that the Authorities mentioned to kindly consider them in any upcoming recruitment process because it has really been difficult for them to survive. They also stated they have met all requirements to warrant their employment in the teaching service.

He Finally stated that they have passed their licensure exams with National Teaching Council, Teachers Registered numbers, and completed National Service. Among other details mentioned in their petition to the Minister and GES, it is the cry of the Teachers to be posted and to them, they are willing to serve in any part of the country where their services are needed most.
